New friend

Today, my kids got me a dog to replace the dog who died last year. I don’t like dogs, our old dog was my deceased wife’s dog, and I never liked it. I cared for the dog until it died of old age and fully intended to never get another one. Now I have a hyperactive puppy destroying my house. FML

If your kids live with you, tell them it’s theirs to take care of… If your kids don’t live with you, insist that one of them take the dog… OP, I have the feeling that you weren’t exactly open with how you felt about the now deceased dog. I understand, but when you don’t communicate your feelings, sometimes people come to the wrong conclusions.

There are websites out there to help people rehome pets. I had to rehome my dogs last year, and all of them went to good homes. Do what you have to do, but that is an option.

If it is a puppy it should be easy to find him a new home. Talking to your kids is another matter.
